Come on someone... what's the score with this?

Please let it be true (and good).

boz has just said to those Ambitious outsiders teens that the album is yet to be recorded. So with the tour in a few weeks and the rehearsals there's no time to make a record by late September

remember the whole world of springfield main street playset thing? they had it available for preorder even after it was yanked.

"je ne sauterai pas le pistolet"

yeah..or something..

MORRISSEY TOLD ME THAT HE IS NOT SIGNED TO THAT LABEL AND THERE IS NO CONTRACT FROM HIS LIPS HIMSELF THAT rumoR IS SO NOT TRUE MoZ reBel

the ghost in the machine now has bin numbers.

will i pre-order it and an album will show up only in metaphysical form, or will there be something in the box?

the man has no record contract... hasn't been in the studio, and evidently hasn't even (at least) decided which of his new tracks will be a single... but pre-orders are being taken for 2 unnamed discs?! laughable.

(now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to put in my order now...)

Who's calling Sanctuary?
When you do a search for Morrissey, the new stuff doesn't show up.
Unless someone hacked the Amazon site, there is something in the air.
Even if it's not true, I find the whole riddle quite thrilling.

I have that song on 5 difference CDs, for God's sake, no more compilation stuff. Even if it's an audio recording of You giving a recipe, anything...

From an inside source (No, I am not making this up to riddle you) Moz is NOT signed to Sanctuary or any other label. They just made him a lucrative offer and he refused to sign. Let's all stop dreaming now.

but either way, I'm going to see Morrissey on August 1st, I've got my tickets, so things are all good..

late,

Hi All,
I do not usually jump in and comment on these things but I do believe that this release date is real. I have been very active in trying to assist in creating a buzz and...well...just trying to help Moz get a good deal. With a certain someone who I can't names help I was attempting to see if Morrissey would bea good fit for Metropolis Records. I really think this label would have been the best match for him (they also have Front 242, Bauhaus and Peter Murphy for example) and they had been trying to make contact with someone in the Moz's camp before I approached them. Sanctuary seems to have a slightly stronger distributorship though. They are just big enough to slip into your local Best Buys and Wal-Marts. Well, Morrissey has had a significant amount of material ready to press for quite some time now. Granted I am not talking recent studio work but songs that have been ready to go for a few years. It wouldn't be Moz's way to finally release a new album and have it be full of 5 year old songs so this Sanctuary release should be a collection of those older songs. New to the world but not a new normal album. That will be coming next Spring and should be very worth the wait.

Just type morrissey in the search box and these mystery cds come up as the first two finds. Listed as UK imports.

I guess since evrey day garbage happens to all of us without even noticing, even more relative, best friend find's out the other one was folling around with the wife... point is come on, who are these experts with the lates info, the guys with the so called "in-source"? Dont jinxs a great news
bescauase you want to be the samrt ass who knows it all.
p.s. Yeah, I am wating for the smart ass reply.

"You are sleeping/ You do not want to believe"
Cmon you gloomy pessimists! The album is a fact!
Are you the same people who went "ooh no, chris is wrong, there will be no tour" etc etc? Why not consider the possibility that good things can and will happen?

Isn't it wonderful being a Morrissey fan...

the name of the new album?
any suggestions?

Now I don't normally butt in on the discussions, I merely watch the action, but...

I know that we are all waiting for a new album, we know the tour IS on, so why do some of us still think that it could be bulls**t?

Going on past form Moz tours when Moz has a new album out, so with this in mind, personally I believe what I'm reading about an album and a single due for release in September.

As for Sanctuary, the juries out on that one, yes he's signed here, no he's not here, maybe they did sign him for ONE album, ONE single, then take it from there..
Stranger things have happened. I mean Rough Trade is a member of Sanctuary, so maybe the release should read Rough Trade, but the only ifo Amazon have is from Sanctuary. Coz' I still think that both Moz and rough Trade would work together (better the devil you know).

Well we'll all just have to wait and see, even if it's an album full of bumf written in 10 minutes on a train 5 years ago, we all know that we will buy it don't we.

All of these "sources" should be able to have some kind of credentials or something. I think it would clear up a lot of confusion and separate the poseurs from people who actually have a clue about what they're talking about.

The same thing happened with the band James recently. A preorder came up on Amazon, also from Sanctuary, and we all got excited thinking they had signed a deal with them and had a new album in the works, but it turned out to be a live album from their tour in December to coincide with the DVD release(which is amazing btw, well worth checking out).
There is no way Mozzer could have a studio album out by September IF is it hasn't been recorded yet, but there might be just enough time to get a live album out by then if it was recorded early on in the tour. Maybe with a few new tracks to be released as singles? Just a thought.

There is no new morrissey CD
just another repackage reissue job
just another way for him to flease his mexican fans that he could care less about other than their cash...

If Morrissey really is releasing a single on the 9th of September, he obviously isn't planning on doing a lot of promotional work for it, since he'll be on tour then. I suppose he mustn't be too hopeful that he'll be asked to perform it on Top of the Pops.

Opal Music, a British music mail order site, lists both the new Morrissey single and album for release in September. Does this strengthen the case that the releases are real?

MORRISSEY Tbc -- (UK CD album new full length) ... 9.95 released 23 Sep 2002
MORRISSEY Tbc -- (UK CD new single) ... 2.95 released 09 Sep 2002

The link is http://www.opalmusic.com/home.htm.
The listing of the Morrissey releases is under the New In "Last 4 Days" or "This Week" sections.

Let's hope there is a new disc coming out.It could be a big re-launch surprise thing to co-incide with the tour etc.But I have my doubts.Anyway,at least America is seeing him live.Dunno when we will see him in Europe next.

I don't know what to believe..
oh well..

...and she told me "T.B.A." is for Spanish "Tendrķais Buen Augurio" wich means..."you should be so lucky.......lucky, lucky, lucky".

I just recieved this e-mail from Customer.Services@sanctuarygroup.com! (for all the doubters out there, please feel free to e-mail them yourself - I orginally used info@sanctuarygroup.com)

"Dear Jeff

There is a possibility of a single and the album will be released towards the end of September.

These are all the details I have at present.

Regards
Customer Services"

Listen - I have an idea - what we need is an official statement from Sanctuary so let's all pester the customer services people by email and if they start getting, like, a billion emails (or something close to that) then they will be forced to issue an official "line".

Did anyone else notice that the Amazon.co.uk catalogue entries for the "T.B.A." single and album have been removed ?
